Word of the Day Paracinema - n. movie genres that are out of the mainstream A counter-aesthetic sensibility that celebrates marginalized, low-budget, and "trash” cinema forms typically dismissed by mainstream culture for their technical flaws or sensationalism
I guess this makes me a paracinemaphile! 😁

If we survive Trump, Dems will run up huge numbers in 2026 & 2028, like 2006 & '08. But if the next President doesn't govern like FDR, broad reforms, corruption prosecutions, landmark legislation, we end up right back here. Winning isn't enough. Dems have to change things.
This, precisely!

Freedom and independence are basics rights of all people, regardless of gender.
Daughters are no longer raised to be wives. They’re raised to be people. And some people are really not okay with that. They’re not being taught to sacrifice themselves for the comfort of others. Not being told that marriage is the finish line. Not being conditioned to make themselves smaller to be loved. They’re being raised to earn their own money, choose their own timing, live alone if they need to, and not apologize for wanting more. They’re building lives where love is welcome but not begged for. They’re questioning things their mothers had to silently accept. They’re choosing healing, not just habits. And for people who are used to obedience, that kind of freedom looks like defiance.
JD Vance posted: Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sxx trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it. 8:28 AM - 9/4/21 Thomas Massie posted recently: Seems like it was just yesterday.
Never let this get buried. Investigation and prosecution are still needed!

I think this was the first Mr. Bean episode I ever saw.
The school is having an open house that he attends. Causing trouble, of course. He sits in on an art class and a judo class and learns about chemistry and static electricity. And the power of a tank.
